From what I recall of the comics, that is pretty much the comics storyline, and it would have worked so much better for the redemption arc (as well as giving him a more solid connection to Earth).
I love those kinds of stories where someone's undercover in a "normal" life but happy there too and then their old life comes up and wham.
I never thought about it like that, but ohboy YES. (Possibly one of the reasons I rather liked the Jason Bourne trilogy, even if they fridged Marie in the 2nd movie and fridged Nicky in the 4th movie WHICH NEVER HAPPENED augh why.)
Oh, yes, in-character humour, juxtaposition, 'brick-dropping', and situational hilarity - those are my jam when we're talking things that will make me laugh. But it's all in the setup - the 'cleverness' if you will.
